“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ” II Corinthians 5:1
Life has a single beginning but a multiplicity of endings. We do not know the day, the hour, the minute, or the mystery in the works of the Master, who is too knowledgeable to make a mistake with His own creation …man.
Mr. Johnathan “Junior” Grant, the fifth of eight children born to the union of the late Mr. Lawrence Grant and Mrs. Lorene Singleton Grant, was born May 23, 1949 in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Johnathan made the transition from morality to immortality on Sunday, October 3, 2021 at his residence.

After receiving an honorable discharge, he returned home and enrolled in welding school. Johnathan was employed as a master welder with General Dynamics at Bushy Park in Goose Greek, SC until his retirement.
From an early age, Johnathan was reared in Nazareth Reformed Episcopal Church. After accepting Christ as his Savior, he knew he had a calling to serve others, and he did so with dedication and diligence.

He also worked with the Transportation Committee and was a regular driver for church activities such as serving breakfast at the homeless shelter and making pick -ups at the food bank.
Johnathan was the modest individual who possessed a quiet private nature. He was an avid Cowboys football fan, and in his leisure time, he loved to read, but he will always be remembered for his love of walking. Many people who did not know him personally, recognized him as “the gentleman who walked along South Live Oak Drive every morning.” He developed a discipline that he kept until his health would nor allow him to do so anymore.
Johnathan was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers: John Lee Grant and Jessie Lee Grant.
Those left to forever cherish his life ad memories are his sisters: Rebecca P. Washington of Charleston, SC, Miriam Williams and Helen Lovett of New York City, and Hazel Lee Grant of Summerville, SC; his brother: Jimmy Grant of Fayetteville, NC; sister-in-law: Beulah Grant of Moncks Corner, SC and Naomi Grant of Summerville, SC.
